How many of you that travel full time or just snowbird take a second vehicle with you. My wife has mentioned several times that it would be nice to have her car so that she can go someplace if I was gone with the pickup, and it would get better gas mileage than the truck.

Vicki followed me in the car one winter and we used the car while in one location for two months plus a couple of weeks of moving around. When I calculated the fuel cost savings of using the car instead of the truck and then deducted the additional fuel costs of the car while we were also towing the house, the difference was not as great as I expected. So now we just store the car most of the year and use it only when we're near our kids in the Kansas City area.
One thing to keep in mind is that some rv parks will charge you for having a second vehicle with you so check that out before making your decision.
If your purpose is to save money, then that may not work out for you. If the purpose is to have a smaller vehicle and/or a second vehicle available, then I'd suggest you go ahead and do it.
Good luck to you.
